I want to be a...


I want to be a

Doctor.

 

Doctor? Doctor?

What is wrong with her?

Why is she doing this to herself?

Is this her 

fault?

 

Mother. Mother.

It is up to her to fight.

It is her pain.

It is her anxiety.

It is her

fault.

 

I want to be a

skinny girl.

 

Skinny girl? Skinny girl?

What is wrong with her?

Why is she doing this to herself?

Is this her 

fault

again?

 

Mother. Mother.

Please let me talk

to your

skinny girl.

 

Skinny girl. Skinny girl.

Get your

Sugar Honey Iced Tea

Together.

 

I want to be -

stop wanting

to be

anything

but yourself.

 

No doctor for me.

No skinny girl

either.

No faults given.

 

Only 

Sugar

Honey

Iced

Tea.
